Ayurvedic Massage

Ayurvedic massage is more comprehensive than any other form
of massage. Its purpose is to restore balance and revitalize
the physiology. Stress, improper diet and lifestyle, and
environmental influences can push our bodies out of their natural
equilibrium. This lack of balance results in ill health and chronic
disorders, and plays a significant part in the aging process.
The treatment programs offered at The Raj Ayurveda Health
Spa are designed to detoxify the body and eliminate the harmful
effects of stress. Traditionally known as "Panchakarma", these
therapies remove impurities from deep within the tissues and
channels of the physiology, allowing for a free flow of energy and
intelligence.

Published studies have shown that a 5-day Panchakarma
program reduces levels of harmful fat-soluble environmental
chemicals by 50%. (see research page)

Marma Points and Symmetry

Marma is a Sanskrit word that means hidden, or secret. A marma
point is a place on the body where two or more types of tissue
meet. These points are more than just physical connecting
points; they have an enlivening effect on the entire physiology.
By massaging and "waking up" these marma points, Ayurvedic
massage re-awakens the underlying intelligence that structures
the physical body.

Massages at The Raj are generally given by two technicians so
that both sides of the body can be massaged at the same time
for the most balancing effect.

Ayurvedic Massage at The Raj

Ayurvedic massages at The Raj are offered either as part of a
comprehensive Panchakarma treatment package or individually
through our Day Spa.

Panchakarma packages are offered in 3-day, 5-day and 7-day
blocks. Each day you'll spend soothing hours in a variety of
treatments, including herbalized oil massage, cleansing steam
baths and gentle purification procedures. Your treatment plan will
be individually designed to address your current state of health
during your consultation with our Ayurveda experts.

The massage therapists at The Raj are highly trained, and great
care is taken to follow authentic Ayurvedic guidelines. Our
professional and caring staff will guide your through every step
while you simply relax and enjoy.

Massage Oils at The Raj

Specific Ayurvedic herbal massage oils are individually prescribed
for each guest. The Raj not only uses different herbs in the
different massage oils, but also offers different types of oils
depending on each guest's needs.

Organic Massage Oils

Because the massage oil is the medium through which healing
herbs are absorbed into the body and through which toxins
are expelled, it is important that only the highest quality oils
are used. The Raj offers 100% organic massage oil for all
treatments.
